dstephe4 Posted August 31, 2019 Author Share Posted August 31, 2019 <p>The One Where One Man Eats Enough Food To Drown A Whale</p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p> <span>http://twistededge.org/GBW.jpg</span></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> <span>http://twistededge.org/Chapter_1_Post_Show.jpg</span></p><p> </p><p> </p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"><span style="font-size:12px;"> The night after Great British Wrestling's first ever show was one of mixed emotions for me. The thrill I got when the final match finished and the wrestlers returned backstage was amazing. We'd done it! We'd </span></span></div></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"><span style="font-size:12px;"><em>really</em></span></span></div></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"><span style="font-size:12px;"> done it! Sure the Old Mill venue was nearly empty. Sure the event had been a bomb financially. But the fans loved it, the online streams got great feedback and tens of thousands of views. Even the local press raved about the hottest new attraction in town. I was thrilled, albeit terrified of checking my bank balance.</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"><span style="font-size:12px;"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"><span style="font-size:12px;"> To mark the momentous occasion of our first ever show I'd laid on a huge banquet for the guys. They'd worked tirelessly and put on one hell of a show. I wanted to show my appreciation. There were kegs of beer, bottles of champagne and the finest food you could imagine. I high-fived everyone who'd worked so hard, and asked them all to join me in celebration as soon as they were ready. I had an epic speech planned and everything.</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"><span style="font-size:12px;"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"><span style="font-size:12px;"> I could hear the buzz of the dressing room - the roster were jubilant and in a partying mood. I could literally hear them high-fiving each other through the venue's wafer-thin walls. I waited eagerly in the hall to begin the party, giddy and excited. "Any moment now" I thought. "Any moment now they'll burst in here and I can tell them just how special they all are." I couldn't wait to tell them how much this all meant to me, and how this was the important first step in the GBW dream. </span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"><span style="font-size:12px;"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"><span style="font-size:12px;"> I waited.</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"><span style="font-size:12px;"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"><span style="font-size:12px;"> And then I waited some more.</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"><span style="font-size:12px;"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"><span style="font-size:12px;"> The noise from the dressing room gradually got quieter. I could hear the sound of a far away door slamming in the distance. Then silence. An awkward, crushing silence. I was both literally and metaphorically alone. It felt like I'd been kicked in the heart.</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"><span style="font-size:12px;"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"><span style="font-size:12px;"> It was at that moment it hit me. A painful realisation that would stay with me throughout GBW's history - that no matter how I tried, I would never be one of them. I would always be an outsider, never "one of the guys". Looking back now with years of hindsight and wisdom behind me, I can understand it better. A couple of the roster had wives and kids to rush home to. The rest preferred to party with their own circle - with others who understand first-hand the pain and sacrifices that go into being a pro wrestler. In this insular wrestling world I was a nobody - just another foolish dreamer throwing cash around without paying any dues. No clue, no direction. I pictured them all laughing at me, this silly little nobody trying to dabble in a business he had no idea about. Everyone thought GBW would be dead in under 6 months, like so many countless others. Why would Great British Wrestling be any different?</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"><span style="font-size:12px;"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"><span style="font-size:12px;"> At that moment all the pain and self pity disappeared in an instant, replaced with a knowing smile and a burning desire to prove the doubters wrong.

dstephe4 Posted September 2, 2019 Author Share Posted September 2, 2019 The One Where We Follow A Tournament With A Tournament http://twistededge.org/GBW.jpg http://twistededge.org/Chapter_2_Card.jpg In the space of one night our new Champion had made enemies of half our roster and made himself the most hated man in GBW. Our second show was all about the aftermath. The fans were baying for blood and couldn't wait to see what retribution would land upon Joey Hayes' head. But first there was the matter of sorting out the #1 Contender situation, which was left in chaos last time around. A second chance for Sam Bailey was demanded by the fans. I was more than happy to grant their wish. http://twistededge.org/People/Nathan%20Cruz.jpg vs http://twistededge.org/People/Sam%20Bailey.jpg Nathan Cruz vs 'Super' Sam Bailey - #1 Contender Bout - Winner Can Cash In Their Shot Any Time The biggest ego in British wrestling was to take on a man who'd already fought 3 times in one night to earn his shot. Neither would back down when presented with this chance. Cruz would fight for glory. Bailey would fight for vengeance. Our second ever show would also see the debut of the GBW Tag Team Titles. Seeing as how our previous tournament caused all kinds of hell and carnage, I thought it would be fun to have another one. I put out a call to our entire roster to see who would step up to the challenge. The Bhangra Knights were quick to sign up, eager at their chance for championship gold. A couple of more sinister characters took up the gauntlet too - Eddie Vega and Jokey, aka The Dark Circus, would be our second team. But who else would enter? All would be revealed in our second outing! http://twistededge.org/People/RJ%20Singh.jpghttp://twistededge.org/People/Tiger%20Ali.jpg vs http://twistededge.org/People/_M%20Unknown.jpghttp://twistededge.org/People/_M%20Unknown.jpg Tag Title Tournament: Bhangra Knights vs ??? http://twistededge.org/People/Eddie%20Vega.jpghttp://twistededge.org/People/Jokey.jpg vs http://twistededge.org/People/_M%20Unknown.jpghttp://twistededge.org/People/_M%20Unknown.jpg Tag Title Tournament: The Dark Circus vs ??? http://twistededge.org/People/_M%20Unknown.jpghttp://twistededge.org/People/_M%20Unknown.jpg vs http://twistededge.org/People/_M%20Unknown.jpghttp://twistededge.org/People/_M%20Unknown.jpg Tag Title Tournament: ??? vs ??? Our small cluster of fans had a lot of fun debating who would team up with who when the day of the show came around. With only GBW names being invited, speculation was rife. As with the previous tournament, the winner of each bout would meet each other in the final. Whichever team was left standing would etch their names in GBW history. http://twistededge.org/People/_M%20Unknown.jpghttp://twistededge.org/People/_M%20Unknown.jpg vs http://twistededge.org/People/_M%20Unknown.jpghttp://twistededge.org/People/_M%20Unknown.jpg vs http://twistededge.org/People/_M%20Unknown.jpghttp://twistededge.org/People/_M%20Unknown.jpg Tag Title Tournament Final - 3 Way Elimination Battle: ??? vs ??? vs ??? - Winner Will Be Crowned The First Ever Tag Champions Fans were excited to see which duo would make history as the first ever tag team champions of Great British Wrestling. They were eager to see who'd come out on top in the #1 contenders bout. But most of all, they wanted to see the controversial Joey Hayes get what he deserved. Thanks to all who take the time to read this dynasty, and to anyone who fancies having a go at predictions. The entire GBW roster will be in action. Pre-show and results coming in the next few days... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dstephe4 Posted September 4, 2019 Author Share Posted September 4, 2019 The One With The Rumbling Of An Empty Stomach http://twistededge.org/GBW.jpg http://twistededge.org/Chapter_2_Pre_Show.jpg It was maybe an hour or so before our second show that Nathan Cruz wandered into the makeshift office I'd created deep within the bowels of our Old Mill venue. I saw his glistening white teeth coming from miles away. They burned my eyes they were that bright. He cleared his throat to get my attention. I sat up and pretended to be interested. Cruz: The guys in the locker room are hungry. You should really sort out some catering or something. I did my best to stifle my laughter, hoping he didn't notice the case of champagne left over from last month's feast. Me: That ship has sailed, pal. There's some take away menus in the cupboard. Knock yourselves out. I hear Dominos Pizza are doing a 2-for-1 offer at the moment. I looked back down at my paperwork and pretended to be busy. He got the message loud and clear, turned and left. He was not happy. I didn't even pretend to care. Whether the guys had elected Cruz as their unofficial spokesman, or whether he just had the munchies, I'll never know. I waited for his footsteps to disappear off into the distance before cracking open one of my many bottles of champagne, sat back in my comfy chair, and waited for the action to begin. Chapter 2 results coming soon. If anyone fancies a go at beating Ebeza in the predictions stakes, please go ahead. More low-budget Great British Wrestling action to follow shortly!

dstephe4 Posted September 8, 2019 Author Share Posted September 8, 2019 The One With A Case Of Mistaken Identity http://twistededge.org/GBW.jpg http://twistededge.org/Chapter_2_Results.jpg Show held at The Old Mill in Leigh, Thursday Week 3, August 2019. Attendance: 41. Angle: Too Hot For Hayes After kicking off our show with the most spectacular indoor firework display that eBay could provide, we had a video recap showing how our new champion Joey Hayes had screwed over Sam Bailey, Nathan Cruz, RJ Singh, me and all the GBW fans on his way to the gold. Not bad for one night's work. The face of Hayes then filled our screens. He announced he was in hiding, as he was the most hated man in GBW, and public enemy #1. He declared he'd only emerge when his next opponent was announced. Until there was a certified, bona fide #1 contender, he said it was too dangerous to set foot at a GBW event. He informed us of this via video link from a secure, far away, undisclosed location. Angle Rating: 35. Angle: The Contenders I was angry at the way the inaugural GBW championship was won, and I took to the mic to let everyone know about it. I promised the fans and our roster that Hayes would get his comeuppance next show, when he'd defend against the winner of tonight's bout to determine the new #1 contender. The music of 'Super' Sam Bailey filled The Old Mill, and our former #1 contender marched to the ring. He was understandably furious at how he'd been screwed out of the GBW Title, especially having wrestled 3 times in one night to get there. Before I could answer, the Bhangra Knights hit the ring, also demanding justice and another chance for title gold. RJ Singh was furious at how Hayes' shenanigans had stopped him being our new champion. I announced the rematch between Bailey vs Cruz. The winner could cash in their shot whenever they liked. The Bhangra Knights, however, had already signed for the tag tournament tonight, so were out of the running. Tiger Ali and RJ Singh were not pleased, and swore to Hayes and the GBW fans they'd have their vengeance as soon as the Tag Titles were around their waists. Angle Rating: 35. Angle: Tag Team Tournament Time The time had come to get our inaugural Tag Team Tournament underway. The Bhangra Knights and the Dark Circus had accepted the call, keen to compete for a place in the history of Britain's least prestigious wrestling company. Unfortunately nobody else had volunteered. Keen not to let our 41 fans down I improvised, pulling the names of our remaining wrestlers out of a hat and pairing them together at random. It seemed like a good idea at the time. Angle Rating: 30. http://twistededge.org/People/RJ%20Singh.jpghttp://twistededge.org/People/Tiger%20Ali.jpgvs http://twistededge.org/People/!_GEN%20MALE%20107.jpghttp://twistededge.org/People/!_GEN%20MALE%20026.jpg GBW Tag Title Tournament: The Bhangra Knights vs John 'Asylum' Doe & Sam Kutchner The spectacular high-flying wrestling of RJ Singh and Tiger Ali was unfortunately offset by the piss-poor performance of Kutchner, who was seriously off his game tonight. Fortunately we had a wild card in Doe, who went about business in the same way as Godzilla went about Tokyo. The poor souls sharing a ring him (including Sam) didn't stand a chance. Bodies were flying everywhere. The Knights hit every high impact move in their repertoire, but Asylum just sat up like nothing happened. Ali and Singh got clever and took out the over-matched Kutchner, allowing them to double team Asylum. Somehow they managed a flash pinfall having thrown the kitchen sink at him, then ran for their lives. Doe was not pleased. Doe destroyed Kutchner. Then he went ringside and destroyed a security guard. And then he destroyed a camera man too, for good measure. It was fun, but it wasn't wrestling. The worst match in GBW's short history and we'd only just begun. Match Rating: 29. Angle: Creepy Clowns Our cameras cut to a creepy backstage area with two creepy clown people saying creepy clown things in a creepy promo. I hate clowns. Everyone hates clowns. They're creepy. Did I mention that already? Eddie Vega and his partner in creepy crime Jokey cut a promo that was frankly too creepy for a family-orientated show like ours, but I went with it anyway. This was the first of many promos that would genuinely chill our fans to their core. Angle Rating: 38. http://twistededge.org/People/Eddie%20Vega.jpghttp://twistededge.org/People/Jokey.jpg vs http://twistededge.org/People/Liam%20Slater.jpghttp://twistededge.org/People/Timmy%20Force.jpg Tag Title Tournament: The Dark Circus vs 'Party Boy' Liam Slater & Timmy Force Yikes. The Dark Circus won, by the way. Liam Slater would turn out to be a perfectly solid if unspectacular wrestler. Eddie Vega can sort of string a decent match together. The less said about the other two, the better. After the bout, our haunted mimes laid out their opponents and painted their faces like dead clowns, just in case things weren't macabre enough already. Match Rating: 27. Angle: This Is Blood We then cut to a promo from earlier in the day where our announcer Ryan Devlin tried to interview the man known as 'Blood'. He blanked him, staring out of the window with his cold, dead, unblinking eyes. Devlin got very nervous very fast. Blood does that to people. Just being in his presence makes your skin feel cold, as if all the light and warmth is being sucked out of the room. His glare makes you shiver. Devlin kept on talking, but was met with a genuinely scary silence. When that didn't work he resorted to nervous jabbering. When the talking stopped, Blood suddenly gave Devlin a terrifying death stare. GBW's announcer ran for his life. Blood gave us he most memorable promo of the night and he didn't even say anything. Angle rating: 38. http://twistededge.org/People/Sebastian.jpghttp://twistededge.org/People/Earl%20Black%20Jr.jpg vs http://twistededge.org/People/!_GEN%20MALE%20026.jpghttp://twistededge.org/People/!_GEN%20MALE%20095.jpg Tag Title Tournament: Sebastian & Earl Black Jr vs Lenny Kutchner & Blood Our small rabble of fans were still lining up at the bar when this one started - that's my excuse for the total lack of heat, and I'm sticking to it. The silent atmosphere of a mausoleum greeted these four athletes, as they clumsily did battle in something vaguely resembling a wrestling match. Things took a turn when Kutchner accidentally knocked Blood off the ring apron into the guardrail. GBW's most haunting psychopath calmly gathered himself, dusted himself off, then picked up the ring bell and smashed Kutchener across the head with it, knocking him out instantly. He didn't even look back as he walked back up the ramp and through the curtain. Black Jr and Sebastian took advantage of the prone Kutchner for the win. Despite tonight being their first time together as a team, our match winners worked curiously well together. Match rating: 27. Angle: Back For Blood Our cameras cut to me confronting Blood backstage, demanding answers as to why he'd double crossed his partner Lenny Kutchner. "Who is that?" asked Blood vacantly. "Your partner!" I exclaimed. The dead, lifeless expression remained on his face. "I do not care for their names. They are all the same to me. I do not see people. I see empty shapes full of screams. Voids with no faces. Empty vessels full of pain. If one is taken, another is made. Rats in a sewer, all of them, crawling over each other like vermin, all squealing in the dark." His voice trailed off. I crept away, truly freaked out. Angle rating: 38. http://twistededge.org/People/Nathan%20Cruz.jpg vs http://twistededge.org/People/Sam%20Bailey.jpg #1 Contenders Bout: Nathan Cruz vs 'Super' Sam Bailey. In what was unquestionably the best of a poor bunch, two of our top athletes went to battle in a pretty solid match, picking up right where they left off last time. The fans really got behind this, sensing the bad blood between the two, who fought out of their skin to see who would get a title shot they could cash-in any time. It was evenly balanced, with Cruz targeting the legs of Bailey to stop him utilising his speed. Bailey was much fresher than last time, however, and still found ways of flattening his foe with superb high-flying maneuvers. Suddenly The Old Mill filled with boos and jeers as World Champion Joey Hayes appeared from nowhere, sprang into the ring, and laid out Bailey with a running belt shot to the back of the head! There was a satisfying "klunk" noise as metal bounced off skull. Bailey was legitimately knocked out cold. Cruz was incensed at the interference and charged at Hayes, only to also receive a huge shot to the head from the title belt. The crowd threw coins and litter into the ring as our champion cockily took a bow, proud of his actions. Hayes clearly took great delight in messing up everyone's plans once again. He laughed out loud as the referee shoved him from the ring and began a 10 count. Both competitors were out cold, and our official John Myers had no choice but to render this match a Double KO draw! Cruz was the first to regain his senses, slid out the ring and gave chase to Hayes, but was too groggy to catch him as he escaped backstage. Bailey, still unconscious, had to be carried from the ring by the referee and our security team. GBW still had no #1 contender! Match rating: 38. Angle: A New Alliance Adding further to the confusion, Sebastian and Earl Black Jr then made their way to the ring. They were joined by Nathan Cruz, who had now recovered from the earlier assault. It was then that the fans noticed they were all wearing matching tights, had the same haircut and the same emblems on their clothes. The crowd began to boo, sensing bullshit was afoot. They were right. Sebastian, Black Jr and Cruz announced they'd agreed an alliance from the moment GBW was founded. They'd been working together for weeks, studying the opposition and making big plans for total domination of Great British Wrestling. The fact that Black Jr and Sebastian had been paired together was just a happy coincidence - they'd been a team long before the Tag Title Tournament was announced. The dastardly trio said they would destroy all in their path, and put out a warning to the rest of the GBW Roster. This as yet un-named stable would be a force to be reckoned with, as we were about to discover... Angle rating: 30. http://twistededge.org/People/RJ%20Singh.jpghttp://twistededge.org/People/Tiger%20Ali.jpg vs http://twistededge.org/People/Eddie%20Vega.jpghttp://twistededge.org/People/Jokey.jpg vs http://twistededge.org/People/Sebastian.jpghttp://twistededge.org/People/Earl%20Black%20Jr.jpg GBW Tag Title Tournament Final: 3 Way Dance To Crown The First Ever GBW Tag Team Champions. The Bhangra Knights vs The Dark Circus vs Sebastian & Earl Black Jr. The fans were on their feet, excitedly anticipating an action-packed main event. I'd like to say we delivered. I'd like to say our first ever tag champions were crowned in legendary circumstances. In reality, this match never really took off. A damning lack of psychology and wrestling know-how turned what should've been a memorable finale into a clumsy spot-fest. The match needed a leader to keep control, but none was to be found. Vega and RJ Singh did a decent enough job and had their moments. Black Jr had some fun spots with his 'old school wrasslin'. The Dark Circus were eliminated first, which was probably an act of mercy given Jokey's piss-poor performance. But this whole main event was a mess. One thing that did stay long in the memory, however, was the the ending. People were talking about this weeks after the event. Left alone in the ring against Singh and Ali, Sebastian was on the receiving end of a huge Missile Dropkick, followed immediately by a Somersault Plancha from the top rope. He was in trouble. He was done. The Knights were about to go in for the kill when suddenly Black Jr leaped to the ring apron and distracted referee John Myers. Behind the official's back, Nathan Cruz crept into the ring, dragged Sebastian out the way, before cheap-shotting Ali with a low blow. He then curled up the Asian superstar into a small package pin. Myers turned round and made the count. 1... 2... 3! We had new Tag Team Champions! The bell rang and the belts were handed to Black Jr and Sebastian, who celebrated wildly with their ally Cruz all the way up the ramp. You could forgive Myers for his mistake - Cruz was wearing identical wrestling attire to Sebastian, and in their curled-up position it was impossible to tell who was who. Our fans, however, were not so forgiving, shouting abuse at our unfortunate referee. They began pelting him with beers. The poor bastard screamed like a girl and ran for his life, as our second ever show ended once again in controversial circumstances. Match rating: 30. Overall show rating: 29.

dstephe4 Posted September 9, 2019 Author Share Posted September 9, 2019 This should be fun to try to predict, with all the blank spaces! Let's have a crack! The Dark Circus vs ??? "Party Boy" Liam Slater & Timmy Force. Timmy takes the fall. Thank you to Ebeza and Electric X for playing the predictions game. Well done especially to Ebeza for the freakishly accurate prediction above. Thanks also to anybody else quietly reading this fun but swanky little diary of mine. I'm having a blast writing it, and if I can pick up a small audience along the way, that's a bonus. Cheers everyone - Chapter 3 coming soon!

dstephe4 Posted September 10, 2019 Author Share Posted September 10, 2019 The One With A Rogue Asian http://twistededge.org/GBW.jpg http://twistededge.org/Chapter_2_Post_Show.jpg I felt a little bad for having turned down their request for food earlier, so I arranged for a couple of kegs of beer to be put in the wrestler's locker room after the show. Unfortunately our show sucked, in my eyes anyway, so I made sure the beer was Newcastle Brown. Overseas readers might be unfamiliar with that particular brew, so let me describe it to you. Imagine if someone were to scrape the tar from inside a smoker's lungs and make it alcoholic. Water the mix down with hot piss and you have something near to this unique taste experience. The guys loved it and the drinks started flowing right away. They wouldn't be so giddy the next morning when they were shitting fireworks and their burps tasted like their farts. I left them to it and got on with editing tonight's footage to stream online. It wouldn't be easy to make tonight's car crash of a show look decent, but it wouldn't be the last time I'd have to polish a turd. The reviews for our second show would be favourable, especially for "a company of our size". The fans liked it but the crowds in Leigh aren't exactly wrestling experts - they'd think NJPW was an STD. My standards were much higher than the warm plate of crap GBW served up that night. Unfortunately with zero budget and even less prestige, we'd have to make do with what we had. It wasn't as if we could afford better. It wasn't as if the phone was ringing off the hook with offers. Our first show had been good because only the best athletes on our roster were involved. The 2nd show had our whole roster, and our lack of depth in talent was alarming. But that's what you get when you pick your stars based on YouTube clips, Google Image Search, the flip of a coin, or eeny-meeny-miney-mo. My mission was to somehow turn these turds into diamonds before all my money ran out. An hour or two passed. The locker room got louder and rowdier with each passing minute. Suddenly there was a knock at my door. I chugged another big gulp of champagne, gargled it, then spat it out like mouthwash. The massive frame of John 'Asylum' Doe then entered the room. I still couldn't remember his real name. Doe: So tonight was pretty special, huh? He slurred as he talked. So did I. We both did our best to hide it. Neither of us succeeded. Me: Special as in... retarded? You're right. Last month's show was way better. Doe: To be honest, things were really chaotic out there today. Half the guys didn't really know what to do. Some panicked and forgot the basics. Some were just too inexperienced to know any better. It really lacked somebody in the background pulling the strings. You need a road agent. It's hard enough understanding Doe as the best of times. Even harder when he insisted on wearing his Halloween mask. Nearly impossible when he was hammered. I wondered how he'd managed to slug down so much booze without taking his mask off. Maybe he used a straw. Me: What's a Rogue Asian? Sounds sexy. GBW's resident monster slapped his head in frustration. Doe: No, dumbass. A road agent! Someone to manage the wrestlers and keep things in line. An experienced voice in the locker-room to keep control of the show. I pulled a face like I'd just swallowed a wasp. Me: Sounds expensive. I'm allergic to expensive. Doe: Look, if you want this fed to work, you can't go on without one. You don't even need someone too fancy for a company this size. Besides, I know the perfect guy. He's been around the block, he's well-respected, he takes no crap, and he's cheap. The last part made me sit up and take notice. I don't remember the rest of what was said, but within a couple of weeks Great British Wrestling had it's first ever road agent. And what an adventure that turned out to be. Suddenly some silly sod in the locker room unleashed a guitar. The worst show in GBWs early history quickly turned into the worst sing-along in musical history. I'm pretty sure Cat Stevens is still turning in his grave to this very day. I took that as my cue to leave before my ears started to bleed. Thanks everyone for reading. Chapter 3 coming soon(ish).

We also still had no #1 contender after our world champion Joey Hayes callously knocked out both competitors with the title belt before running like a coward. You could kind of understand his warped logic - by keeping the #1 contender spot empty he could remain champion indefinitely.

In Chapter 3 they would square off in what many expected to be a solid, technically proficient exhibition of wrestling. The winner would recover momentum and move upward in the echelons of our roster. The loser would be forced to regroup and begin the long climb back towards the top. A 50/50 battle if ever there was one, with our online following split in choosing the winner.</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"><span style="font-size:12px;"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"><span style="font-size:12px;"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"><span style="font-size:12px;"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"><span style="font-size:12px;"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><span>http://twistededge.org/People/Nathan%20Cruz.jpg</span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"><span style="font-size:12px;"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"><span style="font-size:12px;"><span><strong>vs</strong></span></span></span></div></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"><span style="font-size:12px;"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><span>http://twistededge.org/People/Sam%20Bailey.jpg</span><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"><span style="font-size:12px;"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"><span style="font-size:12px;"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="color:#FF0000;"><strong><em>#1 Contenders Match: Nathan Cruz vs 'Super' Sam Bailey</em></strong></span></span></span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"><span style="font-size:12px;"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"><span style="font-size:12px;"> Having stolen the show last month, both competitors were furious to have all their hard work snubbed out by 'Arsehole Of The Year' Joey Hayes. (The fans picked that label. It trended for a little while on Twitter, which amused me greatly.) Bailey in particular had reason to be mad, having been completely knocked out cold with the very World Title belt he was trying so hard to win. A rematch was called for, but whether 'Super' Sam would be medically fit to fight remained to be seen. The fans were excited and hoping to see these two face off again, but there was speculation about what could be done to prevent Joey Hayes from ruining everyone's plans once again.</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"><span style="font-size:12px;"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"><span style="font-size:12px;"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"><span style="font-size:12px;"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"><span style="font-size:12px;"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><span>http://twistededge.org/People/RJ%20Singh.jpg</span><span>http://twistededge.org/People/Tiger%20Ali.jpg</span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"><span style="font-size:12px;"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"><span style="font-size:12px;"><span><strong>vs</strong></span></span></span></div></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"><span style="font-size:12px;"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><span>http://twistededge.org/People/Sebastian.jpg</span><span>http://twistededge.org/People/Earl%20Black%20Jr.jpg</span><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"><span style="font-size:12px;"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"><span style="font-size:12px;"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="color:#FF0000;"><strong><em>Tag Title Tournament Final Rematch: The Bhangra Knights vs Sebastian & Earl Black Jr - For The Tag Team Championship</em></strong></span></span></span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"><span style="font-size:12px;"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"><span style="font-size:12px;"> On paper the team of Black Jr and Sebastian were our new Tag Team Champions.

EBEZA Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 The Dark Circus vs. ??? No idea who they'll be facing, but you seem to have plans for them. Liam Slater vs. Blood You're genuinely scared of Blood, so put him over Nathan Cruz vs. Sam Bailey We need a face/heel title match, unless you do another schmozz setting up either a stipulation match or a Triple Threat? Bhangara Knights vs. Sebastian & Earl Black Jr Too soon to change the belts. You could do a DQ or count-out to extend the feud, but I think a tainted victory will do just fine here.

dstephe4 Posted September 15, 2019 Author Share Posted September 15, 2019 The One With The Random Criticism Of A Small Local Airport http://twistededge.org/GBW.jpg http://twistededge.org/Chapter_3_Pre_Show.jpg We arrived at Blackpool Airport on a red hot yet rainy afternoon to meet our new partner in crime. It was an odd kind of weather - the kind that can give you heatstroke and pneumonia at the same time. Until that day I didn't even know Blackpool had an airport. All I remember of it was a couple of warehouses, some tarmac, and an unmistakable scent of piss. It's the kind of deserted, empty, God-forsaken place the bad guys in movies always choose to do their deals. I was itching to leave the moment we arrived. The Blackpool air was giving me a rash, and the creepy desolation of it had me convinced we'd be raped any second. Looking back now I guess it was the perfect place for the least prestigious company in the shadiest industry on Earth to gather it's new blood. In the days and weeks since our second show, John Doe had convinced me to burn more of the money we didn't have on a Road Agent. The wrestling at GBW Chapter 2 had bordered on travesty, however, so something needed to be done. We'd conducted a thorough examination of the best names in the business, searching for locker-room gurus who'd shake GBW into shape from behind the scenes. Unfortunately all of them either laughed at my invitation, or worse, wanted real money to work for us. The latter was a deal-breaker for me. There was one guy, however, whose standards were low enough to slum it with us. He had enough savvy to get us what we wanted and enough of a reputation that the ramshackle GBW roster would listen to him. I'd never heard of Bad Buddha prior to that day. I'd expected someone smiley, chubby and friendly like the Buddha I'd read about in books. Christ almighty I was stupid back then. Quite how I dragged this company up the mountain to what it became still astounds me. I had as much clout in the wrestling circuit as Hugh Heffner did in the Vatican. I could hear the rumble of engines coming closer. A tiny Cessna 182 two-seater aeroplane floated to the tarmac like a feather on the wind. This was our guy. Me and John Doe eagerly rushed over to meet him. I wasn't sure what to expect. Even now I find Bad Buddha hard to describe. He's about eleven feet tall and nearly as wide. Muscles bulged from everywhere except his eyelids. The only place he didn't have tattoos was his toes. A big hit in Scandinavia, this angry-looking thing had come to the UK to spread nightmares on both sides of the ocean. Apparently he spoke perfect English. I wouldn't know - I never heard a word from him. I wandered over to introduce myself and he forcefully shook me by the hand. He pretended not to notice the faint squeal I let out as his gargantuan hands crushed every bone in my fingers. I tried welcoming him to our shores but he just grunted, snarled, then threw his suitcase at me with so much force it pinned me to the ground, squashing me like a bug. I nearly fainted. Finally John helped me to my feet, and as the air returned to my lungs I began to squeal like a pig being mauled by a bear. Doe slapped me until I came to my senses. He offered me a stiff drink of whiskey from his hip flask. Lord knows I needed it. Here's a fun fact for you - Buddha is the only wrestler in history Asylum couldn't chokeslam. Quite how the three of us managed to fit into my tiny Mitsubishi Colt is beyond me. I could hear the chassis grinding on the road from all the weight in the car. To this day I still can't explain exactly what Bad Buddha actually did behind the scenes at GBW. I never heard his voice, just his menacing grunts and a horrifying death stare that turned knees to jelly. Other than handing out nightmares I'm not sure what his methods were. I will say this for him though - the moment he arrived backstage things turned around. The rabble of our locker-room turned into a disciplined, well-oiled machine. The difference it made to our shows was obvious too. Sure, it would take a while for the quality to improve - you can't polish a turd after all - but the talent realised right away that the free ride was over. No more taking the piss. GBW meant business. From then on, wrestlers would do whatever I asked of them, so long as my pet Golem was behind me, burning holes into them with his eyes. Workers had to pull their weight, or GBW's mighty Buddha would have them screaming for the afterlife. Chapter 3 results coming soon (nearly finished writing them - will finish them off when suitably drunk.) Thanks to all who've commented and done predictions. Big hugs to you all.
